Question:
Typically, only very brave students are willing to speak out in a college classroom. Student participation may be especially difficult if the individual is from a different culture or country. The article “An Assessment of Class Participation by International Graduate Students” (Journal of College Student Development [1995]: 132–140) considered a numerical “speaking-up” scale, with possible values from 3 to 15 (a low value means that a student rarely speaks). For a random sample of 64 males from Asian countries where English is not the official language, the sample mean and sample standard deviation were 8.75 and 2.57, respectively. Suppose that the mean for the population of all males having English as their native language is 10.0 (suggested by data in the article). Does it appear that the population mean for males from non-English-speaking Asian countries is smaller than 10.0?
